Charity and Voluntary Sector

SE: Nominations are now open for the 2009 National Lottery Awards - a chance to celebrate & raise the profile of Lottery-funded sports projects. All Lottery-funded projects - large or small - can be nominated by the public or can enter themselves (by Friday 13 March 2009).  

The awards have seven categories, each reflecting an area of Lottery funding.  Sport England invested in two of last year’s three finalists in the sports category - with the Sunderland Aquatics Centre joining Get Active in the Forest in the last three.  
 
Projects will compete in two rounds of public voting and the short-listed projects will go through to the finals, where the winning projects will be announced in a live BBC1 TV show.  Each winner will receive a £2,000 prize to spend on their project.  The first round of public voting will open on 22 June and close on 10 July 2009.  The second round will take place between 3 August and 14 August 2009.
